Fat cells on the lower part of the body store fat six times more readily than fat cells on the upper body and release them six times less readily. Thus weight loss from the lower body is almost impossible without the upper body suffering.

Furthermore, as we get older, the fat becomes less and less available for metabolism, developing into the situation where the fat is eventually totally unavailable. This means that whilst fat can be stored it cannot be released. Whilst dieting and exercise maintains the body in good health, it will not remove fat from these stores. This is why we tend to put on stubborn weight with age, and with certain hormonal events such as pregnancy and the menopause.

Body shape and weight problems have to be treated sympathetically in the knowledge of these facts.

We used to use the medicine "lipostabyl" to dissolves these fatty areas. We now understand that the results are only temporary. As a consequence of this we have introduced Ultrashape, for the permanent non-invasive removal of fatty deposits.
